Being MD Microbiology, what range of syllabus should I prepare for AIIMS DM Infectious Disease ENTRANCE EXAM, Theory + Practical.

the syllabus for an examination like DM infectious disease in AIIMS Delhi which is just limited to just 2 general seats is actually very difficult to predict since anything and everything out of the purview of infectious diseases related to medical microbiology could be on the platter for you in the examination

most definately the quintessential portions you must not go without covering would be virology and parasitology apart from the White domain of bacteriology with special reference to tropical diseases like tuberculosis in leprosy as well as pyrexia of unknown origin and their differential diagnosis along with different forms of infectious diarrhoea and pneumonia which are the common presentations with which you shall get patients after you become an expert on infectious disease

another domain way you could be questioned upon are the different relevant investigations and latest modalities in the diagnosis and molecular diagnosis of biological and parasitological diseases

you could expect to be questioned upon vivid domain of application based questions in the form of MCQs where in a clinical scenario will be put forward to you and you will be asked to judge which would be the next best step whether to wait and watch or choose a particular specific investigation for it or whether to re examine the patient such as in a case of HIV positive individual

the range of syllabus is definitely unknown and that is why you are aiming for something great leggings DM infectious disease but since it is just restricted to 80 MCQs within a period of 90 minutes so you should prepare yourself accordingly and know that most of them will be application based MCQs and you will need to know your basics and procedures thoroughly in theory as well as practical in order to be able to solve those MCQs in the stipulated period of time and cross the 50th percentile in a healthy manner to be called up for the practical session

for the practical session comprising of 20 months which would only take place if you come within the purview the selected candidates in same school supplies the number of candidates then the available seats, I would just recommend that you know your basic procedures of culture in autoclave and along with serological tests well because that will be mostly what you will be examined upon apart from identification of various microbiological specimens and instruments and of course some readymade test done for you when you will be just as to interpret the result and opine as a microbiological expert of infectious disease domain

for the latest information on the death lines of the application form dates and the venue and procedures for the examination you could use the link of the following document and sharing with you and I really hope that you are able to achieve your fullest potential and do really well by getting this esteem seat of DM infectious disease after a career you have pursued Nandi microbiology with utmost struggle and dedication

Hope this helps,thank you
